This 19th century villa was built during the 1860's located in Whitemans Valley. Initially it was a saw-millers cottage, then it was used as the Wallaceville Valley Post Office. It is one of the oldest buildings still standing in Upper Hutt.
Taken over by a passionate couple, they had a dream to restore the villa to its former glory. The house was uplifted to a new location on our client's property and Maridale Construction got to work on a full restoration and addition. Designed by Callidus Architects and using our expert craftsmanship skills, we were able to transform this heritage home to a liveable dwelling while maintaining its rich history.
Our team handcrafted replicas of some original details of the villa to retain the exterior appearance as close as possible to when it was first built in the 1800's.

Put your new home or renovation in the safe hands of Award-winning Upper Hutt-based Master Builders, Maridale Construction Ltd.
Maridale Construction Ltd was officially formed in 2001. However, founders Brian and Deborah Marriner have been creating dream homes for satisfied clients since 1987.
Today, Maridale Construction Ltd works with trusted architects and premium local suppliers to offer custom new architectural builds, as well as contemporary home renovations and extensions and sensitive villa renovations.
Each project begins with an on-site consultation to help us understand your vision and to assess the site. This ensures an accurate estimate and flags any potential issues early on in the process. Once the estimate is accepted, we can manage the entire build process, and bring in any necessary subcontractors.
We love nothing more than seeing the look on a client's face when they turn the key on their new home or renovation, and we take great satisfaction from seeing homes we've built across the Hutt still standing and looking great years later. View our project gallery to see what we can do and see why our clients think we are the best home builders in Wellington.
